  1. Re:Buy a magnifier. on Window Managers for High Resolution Displays? · · Score: 1

    i run at 1920x1080 on a 17" CRT (so my display is letterboxed :P) and I'm used to it now, but i do sometimes use command-option-[plus] or -[minus] to zoom in and out (OS X). I could totally use one of these things. I don't get eye strain tho because I tend to look away to the TV from time to time.

  11. Re:Dual 2Ghz on Cheap PPC Linux Machines From IBM · · Score: 1

    You are the one talking out your ass. Chances are, if someone wants it enough, they can do it. It's the legal issues that make running the proprietary code/layers on non-Apple machines that hold back any kind of distribution of anything other than Darwin for the 970 IBMs.

  12. Re:Dual 2Ghz on Cheap PPC Linux Machines From IBM · · Score: 1

    The only thing keeping OS X off these machines will be legal reasons (i.e. you're not allowed to run OS X on machines that are not Apple-branded)

  23. Re:The English Language on Toshiba Introduces A 17"-Screen Laptop · · Score: 1

    here, i'm using it synonymously with corporation.

    but to quote dictionary.com, "A group of persons"

    Is not a group one thing? You don;t need every persona in a group to do something to nevertheless state that "Group X releases cool stuff", if say half of the member's of Group X had nothin to do with it, but still it's released under the "Group X" name/brand.
